The other way is if you have a pet, and after you clean up after your cat or dog, mix the expired meds in with the pet poop. The idea behind the coffee grind method and pet poop method is to make any controlled drugs too unpalatable for drug abusers to want. I personally like the coffee grinds better because soaking the pills really makes them unusable.
